OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • We had a wonderful time at the farm. Marco was an excellent guide and explained everything with such energy. The cheese makers showed us a variety of the different ways they make the cheeses. After the tour we had a "sampling" of different cheeses, salamis and homemade wine. It was all so fresh and tasty, we couldn't eat any more. And then they brought out a desert. We didn't eat for rest of the day! I would highly recommend this as a fun and interesting thing to do for kids and adults the same.

    Wir haben die Tour "Organic evo oil tour & tasting in an old masseria in Puglia" gemacht. Die Kommunikation mit dem Veranstalter lief super schnell und reibungslos ab. Die Tour war sehr interessant und die Tour-Führerin super lieb. Wir hatten auch Glück, sodass unsere Gruppe nur aus 4 Personen bestand. Also alles so wie man es sich vorstellt.

  • Our cheese making tour with Marco was a wonderful experience ! We learned the full process of mozzarella and burrata making on a typical masseira with very kind cheese makers. We made our own cheese and then tasted it with a variety of other cheese and food. Grazie Marco!

    Excellent! We had a wonderful extra virgin olive oil tasting at Savoia - it was a special treat to taste olive oil from the ancient and majestic 800 year old trees we learned so much and the owners Giorgio and Rosaria are special people, keeping this incredible tradition alive so we can all enjoy such an extraordinary product

    Our tour guide was Marco and we had a cheese tasting experience at a masseria. The place was very interesting, we learned how the owners of the estate farm, the sustainable animal husbandry that takes place there was nice. The best part was the cheese manufacture, where we had a glimpse about the making of soft italian cheese and we could taste the cheese which was made a few second ago. It was sure an authentic experience. Marco speaks english well and understandable and he answered all our questions during the tour. The selected program contained a tasting after the tour which was actually a full lunch, we could hardly get up from the table :D I only feel sorry that we didn't have time for another experience with Terra Che Vive, but next time! Egy sajtkóstolóra foglaltunk helyet egy birtokra. Az előadás is érdekes volt és szimpatikus volt a farm fenntartható állattartása. Miután Marco körbevezetett minket a birtokon, a sajtműhelyben megnézhettük, hogy hogyan készítik a lágy olasz sajtokat, majd azonnal meg is kóstolhattuk a kész terméket. Ez nem egy megrendezett program volt, ez egy tényleg működő üzem, ahol minden nap munka folyik. A program része volt egy kóstoló is, ami valójában egy többfogásos ebédnek felelt meg, a helyben készült húsokat, sajtokat, zöldségeket kóstolhattuk meg. Marco jól és érthetően beszél angolul és minden kérdésünkre tudott válaszolni. Nagyon ajánlom mindenkinek, aki tényleg autentikus élményeket szeretne szerezni. Ha legközelebb a környéken járunk, biztosan újra őket keressük meg.

    Clelia & Raffaella were wonderful! We went into Clelia’s home and learned all about simple but beautiful Puglian food, as well as two wonderful Puglian women and their amazing dog, Jame. We can’t wait to cook the food at home in England, and we cannot thank them enough for their kindness and this memorable experience.

    Fabulous experience you should not miss. We made bread and learned how to make pasta in different shapes. Then made the best pasta sauce I have ever eaten to go with the pasta we made. Eggplant parmesan to die for!! Plus, we toured the Trulias on the property. Hospitality of Marco and Davida was exceptional!! Don’t miss this experience!!
